TransparenciesDo not fan transparencies before loading them. Resulting static elec-tricity may cause printing errors.
If you touch the face of the transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected.
Keep the printer path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to a dirty media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom of the sheets, see chapter 8, “Maintaining the Printer” .
Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup.
You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing envi-ronment.
Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement.
If you have problems feeding 100 sheets, try loading only 1–50 sheets at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at one time may cause static buildup, thus causing feeding problems.

What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4.2 mm (0.165") from the edges of the media.
Each media size has a specific image-able area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion.
This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable (printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4.2 mm (0.165") from all edges of the media.
When printing on Banner Paper, the bottom margin is 10 mm (0.393").
Banner PaperLength: 356 - 900 mm
Imageable Area—Envelopes
Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope type.
The envelope print orienta-tion is deter-mined by your appli-cation.
Page MarginsMargins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can cus-tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imagea-ble area for optimum results.

Loading Media
How do I load media?Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx-imately 100 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray.
Do not fan transparencies.
NoteAlthough this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.

DuplexingSelect paper with high opacity for duplex (double-sided) printing. Opacity refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Duplex (double-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done auto-matically with the duplex option installed and selected. For installing the duplex, refer to “Installing the Duplex” on page 205.
NoteFor details on supported media types for duplex printing, see “Media Specifications” on page 84.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, thick paper3 or transparencies is not supported.
Duplex printing can be performed with enough memory (no less than 256 MB) installed in the printer.
How do I autoduplex?You should verify that the duplex is physically installed on the printer to suc-cessfully duplex (double-sided) the job.
Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex (double-sided) printing.
The following Binding Position settings are available.
If “Short Edge” is selected, the pages will be laid out to flip at the top.

Introduction150
Preventing Media MisfeedsMake sure that...Media matches the printer specifications.
Media is flat, especially on the leading edge.
The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface.
You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.
You remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to avoid static buildup.
You always adjust the media guides in the tray after inserting the media (a guide not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, and printer damage).You load the media printing-side up in the tray (Some manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side).
Avoid...Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheets—they may be sticking together). Fanning transparencies since this causes static.
Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.
Overfilling the trays.
Allowing the output tray to overfill (the output tray has a 500-sheet capacity—misfeeding may occur if you allow more than 500 sheets of media to accumu-late at one time).Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.

Clearing Media Misfeeds To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any piece of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the media path and cause further misfeeds. Do not reload media that has misfed.
NoteThe image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you touch the printed surface, the toner may stick to your hands, so be careful not to touch the printed face when removing the misfed media. Make sure not to spill any toner inside the printer.
CAUTIONUnfused toner can dirty your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on.If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap.
CAUTIONIf you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.
If, after clearing the media misfeed, the misfeed message in the control panel window persists, open and close the printer’s covers. This should clear the misfeed message.

Antistatic ProtectionNoteIt’s very important to protect the printer controller board from electrostatic damage while performing any task involving the controller board.Turn off all power switches first. If an antistatic wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit, attach one end of it to your wrist and the other end to the bare metal chassis on the back of your printer. Never attach the wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an electrical current present. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points.If you don’t have an antistatic wrist strap, discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer boards or components. Also avoid walking around after grounding yourself.
Antistatic Protection 191
Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)You may need additional memory (DIMM) for complex graphics and for duplex (double-sided) printing.
